25.01.2022 Double trouble at Phillip Island this weekend! Teamed up with Ray Angus, we're out for qualifying at 9:00 for Ray, and 11:00am EST for the Pro session. It's definitely going to be close!
25.01.2022 So, 2 races and 2 top 10 finishes. Perhaps this Porsche thing isn't so bad after all? Turns out Team BRM and Perks Integrated Business Services use the same blue, nice fit and great to have them on board :) Race 3 at 12.50pm tomorrow, trackside, ch 10 or Fox sport, it will be a good one! SH
24.01.2022 RIP Jules Bianchi... Devastated. The first death in F1 since Senna? Still 1 too many, this sport can be, and needs to be better than this. #ForzaJules #Neverforgotten
23.01.2022 Happy and safe Easter to everyone! Keep it smart on the roads this long weekend, minimising fatigue and distractions to ensure you arrive safely. Enjoy the chocolate :)
22.01.2022 Had some more of these today with the team following our last race weekend. The numbers are interesting, there's definitely more speed there... A bit of time to reflect now before Townsville
21.01.2022 Busy times! Last weekend the CAMS Academy had another training camp, which was positive despite the recent announcements. Up at Morgan Park for Formula 4 coaching next week, then off to Townsville. Working hard and feeling good...
21.01.2022 Dropped into Perks Integrated Business Services for a photo and a thank you for their part in our Official Clipsal 500 Adelaide weekend. Oh, and 2 days until the Gand Prix? Plenty of time.
20.01.2022 Mentoring Trent in Formula 3 Australian Drivers Championship this weekend at Sandown. A great start so far for his wings and slicks debut! #ausf3
20.01.2022 Gutted. Turned around early in the race, but came all the way back to 9th with a slightly damaged, yet very fast #11 #Porsche. It's hard not to wonder what could have been...
20.01.2022 So, while I have been a bit quiet lately because of some uncertainty over the remainder of the 2015 season for me, it looks like it's simply time to focus on 2016 and beyond! 2015 has been another great year of racing for me (maybe a little shorter than anticipated) but a step in the right direction none the less. But here is where I would like to open the discussion up a little. I want to know what YOU guys think about my year in 2016. What do you want to hear, see and know... about me over this page, at the track or otherwise? Chuck some comments or even messages my way, and let's start the chat :) Thank you to everyone who has supported, liked, commented and followed me so far this year, it is very much appreciated!

19.01.2022 Rest peacefully Justin. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and all those effected. We also pray for rider Darcy Ward, as he recovers from surgery, but are thankful that James Courtney now returns home. If these things come in 3's, hopefully our motorsport community is past another wave of these disheartening events.
19.01.2022 A tennis smash, a sweet connection in golf, when the basketball doesn't touch the ring, and when a race car rides the curb, just right. It doesn't get any better than that.... SH
18.01.2022 Set up day at the Australian #Formula1 Grand Prix in Melbourne. Team BRM guys are busy getting everything ready for an action packed weekend of Porsche racing
16.01.2022 What an awesome weekend that was! All 3 races in the top 10, and all without putting a scratch on my Paradise Motors Mazda Porsche. Learnt so much over the weekend, lapping within 0.5s of the lead by the end of it- keen to keep this momentum up now! But the best bit?... Melbourne Grand Prix is only 10 days away :) SH...

15.01.2022 Touch of window shopping at Porsche Centre Melbourne this morning.... Ha ha Team BRM
15.01.2022 When not on the track, still in the box seat! #commentary #Sandown
13.01.2022 A bit of post-Townsville sadness has kicked in. I've run straight down to a freezing Bathurst for an event, and am sorely missing the warmth of the Queensland sun.... Although it wasn't the result we were hoping for, it was still a pretty fun weekend! :) SH
13.01.2022 Highs or lows, win or lose, we're in it as a team. Sydney didn't quite go our way, but we'll be back out for Sandown. Team BRM will be ready!
12.01.2022 Well, a big night for the Team BRM guys and the #11 is go again today! Shame about the starting position but it's onwards and upwards from here...
11.01.2022 It's been a big day today! But they're nearly ready for a good crack at qualifying tomorrow morning. Team BRM working hard to keep them squeaky clean. P8 this afternoon, nice to be back in the top 10 :) 9:40est for qually, and LIVE on FOX Sport, it's going to be super close! SH
09.01.2022 Red flags can either help or hinder, and today, they definitely hurt us. Dropping 5 spots on the grid due to not getting a second run demoted us to 10th place. We converted this to 8th by the end of the race, but you have to wonder what could of been. Only 0.3s off fastest lap, the pace is coming! Loving making some progress, and the lights will be on for a good charge tomorrow! SH
08.01.2022 Thoughts are with those effected by the tragic events in Germany.... Very sad times.
08.01.2022 The lead into my weekend started with a tune up with Luke at The Physio Studio. These guys know their stuff and have some pretty good, sport specific, ideas! #Preparation #InjuryPrevention #TPS https://www.facebook.com/thephysiostudio
07.01.2022 I'm up in the Gold Coast!! I'll be following the battle for the championship, make sure you follow along. Qualifying out at 5:30AEST, who's your pick?
06.01.2022 If you love your work, you never really work a day in your life.... True?
06.01.2022 Welcome, Bertocchi! How cool does it look again! Practice starts in an hour, we're ready. SH
06.01.2022 The T.V footage didn't really capture the full story for me in Race 3 in Townsville, so I'd thought I would put this together to tell a bit more of the story... Unfortunately even with good pace, things don't always go your way! Hope you guys enjoy it :) SH
04.01.2022 Hanging out at Phillip Island GP circuit this week... Has been known to have a reasonable view :)
04.01.2022 Well this rocked up today, a great surprise from Mygale Australia! Very thoughtful of Greg and his team. It was a great season working together with their team and it's fantastic to see their passion for developing young drivers continue. Thanks for this mega poster, and thanks again for a massive Formula 3 Championship year guys!! #mygale #formula3 #humbled #memories
04.01.2022 How good is the Grand Prix! Race today at 1530EST, #11 Bertocchi is out of p13 for the first one. Let's see where this takes us... SH
03.01.2022 So, a synopsis of our slightly lacklustre Island weekend.... Started Race 1 20th, got as high as 9th prior to the pitstop. But that's where our pace ran out. Ray struggled a bit with the car, we crossed the line 17th. Race 2, starting of P17, Ray made amends for Race 1, until a moment coming over the hill dropped us back off the pack. A drive through for wheels turning during the pitstop, and a battle of two challenge drivers causing me to take evasive action at turn 4, all took their toll on our result. BUT, another step forward in my endurance racing experience, lapping within a second of the pace, and feeling ever more confident with the Team BRM Porsche.... There are some positives. Despite a couple of hiccups, Ray did a solid job bringing the #11 car around for me. Let's regroup and go again....
03.01.2022 A big thank you to these guys at paradise motors for getting me here this weekend! They could not have been more helpful or generous as they help me start my tin top career! Make sure you give their page a like :) SH
03.01.2022 Last week I had the opportunity to experience something completely different to my world of motorsport. Ross Morgan - Visual Artist was kind enough to show me around his works in the Adelaide Arcade. His contemporary works are both visually appealing and a bit mentally challenging to look at or understand- but a fantastic insight into a very, very different line of work either way. Thank you Ross! I look forward to catching up again soon!
02.01.2022 Brought the Bertocchi Team BRM #11 Porsche back to 14th from a starting position of 24th, narrowly missing the fastest lap of the race in the process. A tough weekend, but a better way to finish. Let's keep the development up and come out fighting at the next one! Thanks for the support guys :) SH
02.01.2022 3 weeks until we're back on track from today. A quick Friday Flashback to Townsville in 2013 in Formula Ford. A bit of Queensland sun would be pretty nice today...
01.01.2022 Didn't have any wheels to lap the circuit this afternoon, but got some miles in the legs anyway. It was a perfect Queensland evening for it! #running #castroledge400 #raceready
01.01.2022 Dropped in to say hello again to the Paradise Motors Mazda team! A great pleasure to see Jeff and the guys at the dealership
